We sometimes find salps in enormous swarms.

有时，我们发现樽海鞘成群出现。

The skeleton panda sea squirt, the distinctive sea squirt first caught the attention of a researcher in 2018.

骨架熊猫海鞘，这独特的海鞘在2018年首次引起了一位研究人员的注意。

The skeleton panda sea squirt officially recognized even though " a-panda-ntly."

官方名字是骨架熊猫海鞘，很明显。

To illustrate this, Daniel uses the example of a sea squirt.

为了说明这一点，Daniel 举了一个海鞘的例子。

If you want a good example of this difference, look at the sea squirt.

如果一个于这的好例子，就看看海鞘。

Early in its life, the sea squirt has a nervous system.

在其生命的初期，海鞘长有一个神经系统。

Some of them are produced by gelatinous animals called salps.

它们中的有些是由一 叫做樽海鞘的胶装动物产生的。

Not quite. This is an ascidian.

Some sea animals, like jellyfish, comb jellies and salps can migrate between depths partially because their 90% water consistency allows them to withstand immense pressure.

在猎物遁走前抓住它有些海洋动物，比如水母，栉水母，还有樽海鞘可以在不同深度水域中移动部分原因是它们身体有90%的组成是水。

At that point, movement is no longer a necessity for survival, so the very first thing that the sea squirt does is it digests its brain for energy.

此时，运动不再是生存必需，所以海鞘定居下来以后的第一件事，就是把它自己的大脑吃掉为身体提供能量。

Some years I'll get biofouling, like sea squirts and things will stick to it really early, which really affects whether I can use it for food.

有几年我会被生物污染， 比如海鞘，而且东西很早就会粘在上面，这真的会影响我是否可以用它做食物。

While birds nest among mangrove branches, fish lay eggs amidst their sprawling, complex root systems. Symbiotic sponges and sea squirts protect their host trees from hungry woodboring crustaceans.

鸟儿在红树林的树枝间筑巢，鱼儿则在它们庞大而复杂的根系中产卵。共生的海绵和海鞘保护它们的寄主树免受饥饿的钻木甲壳类动物的侵害。
